Permanent, For The Time Being
We are but squatters on this planet. None of us own a squared millimetre of real estate on this earth. No matter what the deeds office may say. Your title deed only allows you to occupy that patch of land for an uncertain duration of time.Whenever somebody of note passes away (may her soul
rest in peace), I’m once again reminded of the temporary nature of our sojourn here on earth.Think of how many people had once claimed that very piece of ground that you occupy now, as being their own; since long before the existence of the deeds office. And many others still will.
Only the other day somebody boasted to me that his family had owned a certain farm for more than three hundred years. I wonder if I should enlighten him.
What is three hundred years in the lifespan of our planet when even the trees we plant on our property, which we also claim to own, often outlive us.

Sometime I wonder about greed, how much can you take with you in your passing. Better share it with humanity.
This is after the English had learned that those red tunics made them perfect targets. The Boers in general were exellent marksmen; even on horseback.
Many lives were lost here. Our soil is drenched with blood. All the senseless killing; for the wealth of the Tansvaal goldfields!
Live to the best of your Ability a Day at a Time!
Tomorrow usually takes care of itself if you do what is necessary Today!
I bet they were impressed!

Yes dear, tell it to them. It is our nature to wage war. I don't think there had ever been a period of no war in the last 4000 years.
hi Catfoot, it was only yesterday when you had the idea "What If CS Was Mine."
it's good that CS world has no land and you used the word "what if"
and I guess I too have to be more careful when making jokes. I am lucky now, but next time it might be misunderstood
No problem at all. I enjoy your comments!
There is an opinion but I would say the correct opinion:
Man should plant a tree
build a house and raise a son.
...oh my!
I'm not too seriously start my comment?...
ok!
I...
I planted a lot of trees
brought up two sons
and built a house in ...CS!
DO I NEED SOMETHING ELSE?...
But we forget about one, day will come, hour will come, and we will go to that world other. You truly told Cat everything remains. And I think and wrote more than once. Here we on the earth can have anything, someone is rich, someone is poor. But underground all are identical.
You just about repeated my prayers word for word to the Almighty! I thank Him every day for letting us use this plot of land we call the USA. I acknowledge to Him that I know it's His and He has lent it to us. I thank HIm for the protection from any invasion against us!
It is said Ted Turner owns 1000's of acres of land in the US. He doesn't. God owns it!
you said it! Not me.
How does it feel to be a year older? I celebrated my birthday recently as well!
Dear Ummka
Yes, so true. We can take nothing with us when we go!
Aye Ed,
Everything on loan. That is why we must look after it well.

With your qualifications plus another skill there will be no need for hard labour. Think in the direction of advertising. Your artistic skills may be well in demand.
